    I am sure it will be nothing to worry about but it is clearly causing you a great deal of stress.  Book in with your GP who can put your mind at rest or arrange for further tests.

    Dani, you need to go see a doctor.  None of us can diagnose an illness...

    Dear Dani, this may be any lung disease other than cancer. Please see your doctor in order to start the exact diagnostics.
